Remarks :
There are several operation notes during Oct 2014 as below :

1. 06-10 Oct 2014 , Test run for 100D production for Yubase 4+BP spec production. It's need specific
requirement such as narrow cut range and low viscosity 4.100.02
4 100 02 cSt.
cSt Due to that NBF has been cut
10,000 B/D within 4 days.
2. 13 Oct 2014, Net UCO has been increased from 8,000 to 8,300 B/D. Due to that NBF decreased from
2,500 to 2,000 B/D for maintain distillate balance as production plan.
3. 16 Oct 2014, Intercooler stage recycle gas Makeup compressor (E-33) Tube leak . Due to that HCU
capacity decreased from 180 m3/h to 150/125 m3/h. It gives affect to Net UCO decreased from 8,300 to
6,800 B/D and H2 supply to CDW decreased to.
4. 17 Oct 2014, Net UCO increased from 8,300 to 8,750 B/D until end oct 2014 due to Net UCO
compensate from previous month. November 2014 cases Net UCO to be lept 8,300 B/D.
5. 17 Oct 2014, UCO Supply pump HCU-211 (P-13) cavitations. Due to that FIC-1003 error reading and
metering coriolis allso error reading
6. 31 Oct 2014, Error reading of FIC-1077 and FIC-1078 due to steam traccing service failed regarding
heavy rain. It is affect to VDU material balance.

Remarks :
1. All the quality parameter during october 2014 has shown well controlling, several data lower than
guidance are out/off off operating guideline categorizes.
2. Basis data were taken from rundown stream for distillate due to doesn't availabel Tank data.
3. Data are exclude 100D for Yubase 4+BP Spec.

4. Conclusion
1. During October 2014, VDU Plant has performed with operating capacity more than the basic design, with
HCU total feed 26,900 B/D + NBF Feed 2,500 B/D as maximum capacity. Due to that the observation
from critical operating variable are allowable or within on design.
2. VDU Vacuum colum is relatively stable due to dP of Vacuum column is not more than design (20 mmHg)
3. Distillate/100D quality is also acceptable result during high capacity of VDU. Several data lower than
limitation or guide possibility caused by out of operating guideline.
4. Refer to exisitng condition there is a chance to increase NBF Feed more than 2,500 B/D.
5. MP steam utilization for dilution steam is 1,887 Kg/H and 5,495 Kg/H for Motive ejector steam during
October 2014.
6. All the operating notes has been solved to keep stability of VDU Plant condition.
